After nearly two decades of formal education, I have been conferred the degree of Bachelor of Arts. Today was the ceremony. I was really excited in the morning, dressing up for the big day. The ceremony itself wasn't really that interesting, and I was waiting for it to end. It was all for that few seconds on stage. I kept adjusting my gown and tie before it was my turn. I didn't pause very long for the photographer. I hope the stage photograph will turn out alright.
The time after the ceremony was the best, with old friends coming together to cerebrate. This has been our tradition, to the point that we even gather at the same corner of UCC - in front of Olio Dome - everytime. Honestly I'm not so close to many of the younger ones who turned up, so it was just the presence of those dearer friends that warmed my heart. Newlyweds Hanhui and Shufen came down too, spending the second day of married life with us. Claramae came too, and it was great that we could catch up abit. Weizan also came, and it was so great to see this old friend. We haven't met for a long time though, and I was happy that he came today.
Felt a bit bad that I had to keep my parents waiting so long. We went to Sakae for a celebration lunch after that. The food was good, and we were so full we hardly needed dinner.
